Those don't exist in this universe. His motivations were obviously smarmy and tacky, and a little bit disturbing (I'm sure he thinks he's got one over on Don now, somehow, etc). I'm just saying that Peggy can handle him. And she's probably got more leverage over him than he over her.

But I still feel that Duck has been portrayed as kind of a smarmy character and I tend to trust those impressions on this show. But you never know... You’ve very persuasive.
